Getting Your Web Site Noticed

When the Yahoo Publisher Network blog editor Michael Mattis asked me to write an short marketing article for small businesses I knew exactly what to write about. As much as anyone, I am a proponent of new and interesting online marketing strategies like using social media for marketing, but I am also a firm believer in tried and true tactics, such as promoting one’s site offline.

After going through the routine hoops with Yahoo, the article has published on the YPN blog today, “Signal to Noise”. The article covers the basics as well as a few new, low cost tactics including:

Market offline, as well as online

Announce your site

Market with a blog

Optimize content and links

Keep your content fresh

Bonus tip: Web analytics software to track the results

For experienced online marketers, these are no-brainers. But with nearly 50% of small businesses without web sites, there’s a lot of opportunity for education on the basics many of us take for granted.

Be sure to watch for other guest articles on YPN Blog from Rand Fishkin, Lawrence Coburn and Lousie Rijk in the coming weeks.
